 The Ninth Ward Club of the lndepend ent Labor Party have voted an appropri- ation for the purpose of flooding the ward with tracts, pamphlets, etc, of an instructive nature They propose to keep the good work in progress until the next election.

He had reached the bottom of his barrel in buying democrats" anC he was compelled to let his republican "boodle' hunters slide,
 A great deal is being said about the many benefits the public will derive iron the sale of the dear Little Derby" tt the Housatonic Railroad company. Il the socalled labor men who so strongly advise the city to sell it's stock to that company would endeavor to have the State gain control of all railroads passing through it, so the people may be really benefited, they would be doing moro honest work.
